Pretending To Be A Boss

Jin Lu's wariness towards Tang Xian relaxed a bit, but since the two of them were still outsiders, she kept her eyes on Tang Xian without speaking.

Seeing through Jin Lu's thoughts, Tang Xian furrowed his brows and said,

"I've told you, I'm not your enemy; I just want to leave this place peacefully. Without the aid of the giant birds, my only choice is to cross the sea. Indeed, I am an outsider, but on normal days, I do love cats the most. Right, Xiaojiu?"

"That's right, that's right!" Tang Xiaojiu nodded vigorously.

Tang Xian continued,

"What exactly is the problem with this sea area? I just want to know this answer, and for this, I am willing to help you with some things."

Jin Lu became somewhat interested and asked,

"What things?"

"For example, helping you take down the Great Tengu."

"You have no grudge against him; why would you want to take him down?"

"From the moment I knew how delicious dog meat was, I had made him my enemy."

"Yeah, yeah, dog meat is so delicious!" Tang Xiaojiu was like the one in a comic dialogue who keeps the joke going.

Jin Lu could accept this reason, but she had her doubts,

"Although the Great Tengu and I are both of Purple tier, his strength is slightly stronger than mine. Do you really have the capability?"

Tang Xian pointed to the corpse of the Hell Flame Wolf.

"I have once cut open the bellies of the three-headed dog of hell and the Hell Flame Wolf, confirming that their stomach structures have not changed.

That is to say, even if three heads were merged into one, in terms of the digestive system, canine creatures would not evolve further." Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

"What does that prove?"

"It proves that you can send me down its esophagus, and I can survive in its stomach."

Jin Lu still didn't understand; was this guy a fool? Did he like to eat dogs or to be eaten by them?

Once in the stomach of the Great Tengu, how could one survive?

The more powerful the creature, the stronger its stomach acid's corrosive power was.

A Calamity-level creature swallowing a Disaster-level being would need stomach acid capable of penetrating the skin of the Disaster-level creature.

There was a monster known as the Stomach of the Devil, which resembled a bat, could fly in the sky, go under the earth, and dive under water. A perfect-level boss creature.

But even Disaster-level creatures were unwilling to face it. Because the ability of this creature was to spew stomach acid.

The stomach acid, once strengthened in its corrosiveness, could suppress the life regeneration of creatures from the mines.

Jin Lu shook her head and said,

"You want to enter its stomach to defeat it? This is your plan?"

"Yes, just find a way to get me in, and I can kill it. Maybe even... tame it."

"Delusional talk."

"Why not give it a try? If I really die, I'm just an outsider anyway, you wouldn't lose anything. All I'm asking for in exchange is some information."

Jin Lu pondered carefully, and indeed it was so.

This leopard queen was not the kind to dilly-dally, and Tang Xian could understand that.

It was just that he and Jin Lu were not compatible. Trust would take some effort to build.

It was like the two of them had a common enemy, but their affinity was only up to ten points.

After pondering repeatedly, Jin Lu finally nodded and said,

"I can tell you what I know. It's not really a secret anyway; everyone in the islands knows about Lord Sea God. Tomorrow we are preparing for the Sea God festival."

Tang Xian got to the point and asked,

"Firstly, what exactly is the Sea God?"

"No one has seen Lord Sea God's true face."

"How's that possible?"

"Some say Lord Sea God is a colossal squid, with hundreds of tentacles capable of extending throughout the deep sea, easily capable of tearing apart the islands.

Others say Lord Sea God is a massive sea dragon, that can soar in the skies and sleep in the deep sea, and there are even rumors of an Undersea City at the sea bottom, said to be the sea dragon's treasure trove."

Tang Xian didn't expect the descriptions of the Sea God to be so inconsistent.

"I do hope it's a dragon, I've been thinking about riding dragons."

Suddenly, Tang Xian had the same thought as Qing JiuYu.

Mainly because squids can't fly, but dragons can.

Jin Lu gave Tang Xian an angry look,

"You must show respect to Lord Sea God!"

Tang Xian fell silent but thought to himself that if it were truly a dragon, he definitely needed to ride it once to show the kitten girl.

Jin Lu continued,

"It's not just that. On the islands further south, there are also rumors that Lord Sea God is actually a gigantic gemstone sperm whale. Its breath alone can cause tides that sweep across all the islands.

The islands to the west also have different beliefs, thinking that Lord Sea God is a volcanic giant formed by numerous underwater volcanoes. When it rages, it can make the whole sea boil.

There are also some scattered rumors that Lord Sea God could be a devilfish or shark, just on an abnormal scale. Immensely powerful. In the ocean, not to mention us Purple-tier beasts, even Orange-tier ones would undoubtedly die against them.

In short... on this land surrounded by the sea, we are all survivors by the grace of Lord Sea God's mercy."

Tang Xian hadn't expected the Sea God to have so many different forms.

From Jin Lu's tone, it appeared that the Sea God was the supreme existence within the islands.

"How many islands are there around here?"

"About over ninety. The island we are on is one of the smaller ones in the archipelago."

"That exaggerated?"

Tang Xian had observed the island; its size was already comparable to the no longer existing Red Earth Forest.

Over ninety islands...

Put together, even if the size of each island was standardized, it would probably be equivalent to half of the Southern Continent, right?
